My Project

I am a Kindergarten teacher. My students are very special and I just love going to school every day to see the sparkle in their little 5 to 6-year-old eyes. My students love to read, pretend and imagine. They are curious and love to learn! We all participate in learning every day. They love to learn new things and work hard every day!

Teaching students using multi-sensory strategies, in a very well-researched way, truly makes all of the difference for so many students, and it is a lot of fun!

I have been trained to use using the Orton-Gillingham Method of Instruction with struggling readers, and this training has been fantastic! It truly works wonders with all of my students. And, it is definitely the best program that I have ever worked with when trying to help students who really struggle severely or who show dyslexic tendencies. I am requesting some fun manipulatives because this program is all about hands-on learning in a multi-sensory way.

I am requesting 6 sand writing trays with lids for students to practice their letters and letter sounds! These are tools that we will use every single day. I am currently using plastic trays, and that can get a little tough when we are carrying sand back and forth to desks for our activities. These sand trays will be the perfect size and height to make our learning a very successful experience. Thank you so much for supporting our project and our classroom. We really appreciate it!
